Detailing the history of the superbike from the Honda CB750 in 1969 to 2001's ground-breaking Suzuki GSX-R1000
Superbike, supersport, superpole, superstock, superteen, super blackbird, super dream, supercross........It's probably fair to say that the word 'super' is somewhat overused in motorcycling circles. But it wasn't always so.It's easy to think that superbikes have been around forev...

Class '74 - Original superbikes
By Visordown on 24/09/2010 10:58:04
It’s 1974. Honda rule the world with their CB750, the first modern-day superbike. It’s taken Kawasaki three years to respond but now they’ve done so in style with the Z900. This scrap could be the most signifi cant in motorcycling history...
developing a 3-cylinder monster, he assembled a 20-strong mob, ordered an extra cylinder and told them to get cracking on the CB750. Guidelines included a high cruising speed, low vibration, exceptional comfort, stability, good braking and, of course

Triumph 1600 twin Cafe Racer
By Visordown News on 08/03/2010 15:03:22
Looks like another mad Swede's been at work creating this in his garage using a Thunderbird engine and some parts from a Ducati and other various cafe racer motorcycles. This cafe racer is a good-looking machine, with more grunt than a Thruxton
WE SPOTTED this one earlier on French website Motorevue: a Swede, Sivert Raask, has concocted a this motorcycle from Triumph's 1600cc Thunderbird cruiser, with the use of a handmade seat, a Ducati tank and a bit of cunning.Quite tasty for a home-brewed effort, don't you think...

By Tom Higham on 18/01/2013 15:56:09
Retro ride channels the soul of its legendary ancestor
simpler past? It's for this reason that retro is and always will be popular, but can the new 'retro' CB1100 shape up to the original superbike that inspired it?The Beatles were at No.1 in the charts when Honda released the CB750 back in '69. It led the way

By Visordown on 14/06/2010 15:08:33
The Z900 was a memorable moment in Kawasaki's history as one of the motorcycling milestones of the past fifty years
Of all the bombshell bikes launched in the last fifty years, Kawasaki’s 1972 Z900 (becoming the Z1 in 1974) is a milestone machine.Kawasaki decided to trump Honda’s CB750 by launching something else altogether. With double overhead cams to the Honda

Second bike doesn't mean second best
By Jon Bentman on 01/12/2010 15:52:42
A single bike in the garage isn't enough for some of us. But think beyond the winter hack, the 'shed' and the humdrum commuter
than just being a mere motorcycle, an object, the second bikes were typically catalysts to activities or relationships that would help define their owners.Not all second bikes start life as second bikes, of course. Mike Jones's 1975 CB750 was once his

Brilliant? Affordable? No better choice than the Bandit 1200.

By Roland Brown on 16/11/2010 16:59:51
Wise road tester Roland Brown looks back at the years that changed biking.
.END OF AN ERAAs several new superbikes arrived, two old warriors died. Honda, who’d started the superbike revolution in 1969 with the original CB750, ended that bike’s line of SOHC fours with the CB750F2, which livened up the previous year’s stylish but slow 750F
